Project Details

This project is located in the Stuarts Draft area and will construct a right turn lane from Route 657 to Route 340. The project will also provide a left-turn tapered lane on Route 340 to accommodate vehicles waiting to turn left onto Route 657.

The turning lane on Route 340 will be 12-feet wide and 200-feet long with a tapered end. The turning lane on Route 657 will be 12-feet wide.

The existing traffic signal at the intersection will be adjusted to handle traffic from the new lanes.

The total estimated cost for this project is $1,558,818 with $224,352 for preliminary engineering, $129,079 for right of way activities, and $1,205,387 for construction.
